Session 32: Classroom Culture Debrief

15 minutes

discussion-based

Purpose

This session is designed to create a space for participants to reflect on the culture they hope to create in their classrooms. There is time to describe a positive classroom culture and collaborate with other teachers to share strategies for creating that culture. This is also a time to tie together themes from the previous TLOs as participants think about how a positive classroom culture might support practices such as pair programming, debugging, and student collaboration. The session ends with a discussion about teamwork, which is a large component of Chapter 2 or Unit 2.

Objectives

  • Participants have reflected on and defined what a positive classroom culture looks like
  • Participants have collaborated with their peers about ways to create a positive classroom culture that supports practices such as debugging, pair programming, and peer collaboration
  • Teachers have shared strategies for supporting student teamwork

(3 minutes) Context Setting

Remarks

During the asynchronous sessions, you reflected on what a positive classroom culture looks like.

(2 minutes) Go over the slide(s) that participants edited during the asynchronous session, being sure to highlight impactful ideas.

(10 minutes) Group Slide

Remarks

As educators, we know that a positive classroom culture does not create itself. The teacher plays a role in establishing and supporting that culture. Consider our group slide(s) and think about how some of the topics we have discussed so far such as pair programming, debugging, problem solving, and peer collaboration might be impacted by your classroom culture.

Prompt: What steps can a teacher take from the very start of the school year to create and support a positive classroom culture that supports practices such as pair programming, debugging, problem solving, and peer collaboration and leads to students feeling like they belong in CS?

Remarks

In your breakout room, create a list of steps a teacher can take to create a positive classroom culture that supports practices such as pair programming, debugging, problem solving, and peer collaboration. Be prepared to share with the whole group.
